Summary

Like this design? Please consider helping me replace filament

I saw a number of different small parts drawers on Thingiverse and noticed that most of them used a lot of filament. I wanted to make a cost efficient version that looked beautiful and was easy to print. This is the outcome:

Update 5/30/2017

The voronoi pattern I use saves more filament than other patterns I've tried which don't require supports. I will upload a second version which does not require supports and will use roughly the same amount or less grams of filament while also reducing print time.

Rafts:

Doesn't Matter

Supports:

Yes

Notes:

Print the shelf at 101%

Print the drawers at 100%

Supports are needed for the shelf but not for the drawers

Rafts are not necessary

How I Designed This

The voronoi pattern not only looks nice but it gives rigidity to the shelf while also reducing the use of filament. The many holes in the pattern also allow for easy wall mounting. The shelves are 10 mm thick rims that are big enough and strong enough to support the drawers without having to waste a lot of filament. I designed each part with the intent to reduce the need for supports.
